Abstract

A core feature of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is increased negative self-focus. Previous neuroimaging research has identified abnormal activity in brain regions involved in negative self-focus, including the default mode network (DMN) and affective network (AN), in PTSD. However, no studies to our knowledge have used a language analysis of impact statements and structural neuroimaging to examine the relationship between negative self-focus and cortical thickness and volume in DMN and AN regions in PTSD.
